Free security

In my opinion, I don't like to have my computer filled with spyware and the like, as you might of guessed by an earlier post (which reminds me to do a scan soon). Anyway, I found a compilation of what are supposedly the best freeware utilities. Not only does the list contain security utilities, it also examines the best free web browser (firefox), the best free ftp client and so on. It also lists free antivirus, antispam, and antispyware programs. The best thing about this list is that it is continually updated. It is also written by a tech support type, so he is knowledgable about the subject. The programs are definatly useful, as well. I use several of them including firefox and the AVG programs. I'm satisfied with everything. I know the school provides anitvirus for free, and that windows defender is on most windows machines for free as well. However, I find that a layered defense is the best thing. Windows Defender, for example, is a good program. Its easy to use and catches a lot of spyware. However, it doesn't catch everything so I also use spybot search and destroy and the AVG program. Each succesive program and scan often digs up something new that the other utility had not caught. That is why this list is great, there is a lot of knowledge right there and and a lot of programs that can make your computer run better.
